Shadow Tamer

Shadow Tamer

Around the campfire, the masters told the apprentices of the founder the details of a secret school. Of a man who had refused to grow up. With fey magic, he remained forever a child, capable of flying via fairy dust, and followed by a number of wild children. His own shadow was his best friend and his mastery of shadow magic was second to none.

It is said that he is still out there, playing his farces on lost wanderers in those dark woods…

Goal

Yes. I have built Peter Pan. With Leadership you can have a Pixie Companion, and with Master of Shadow you have a Shadow Elemental Familiar, which is on par with high level animal companions like a T-Rex. And you can still cast 9th lvl Mysteries, so, you know, this build is extremely powerful. You are also a very effective Intimidancer, and a strong scout, making you a surprisingly versatile character.
